DURING the burning Of the Richmond
hotel, the Chief of the Buffalo Fire De-
partment seemed alive to the true neces-
sites of the case, and the emphatic man
ner in which he issued his orders can
be easily forgiven. When urged to save
the building, if possible, his reply was,
"Damn the building; save the people"
The heroic and successful efforts at saw
ing human life attest the implicit obedi-
ence rendered to his orders, for while
there were many lives lost, there are also
recorded many acts of brave rescue Oh
the part of the f1remen.

| VAL UE OF AMERICAN SEC URITIES
The average Britisher has an idea (and
it is not specially to his discredit) that
everything is done just little better in
Great Britain than anywhere else in the
world. He regards the consols, or fund
ed public debt of his country, which bears
8 per cent. interest, as the very embodi-
ment of stability and wise financial poll
cy And, for Great Britain, it is no doubt
a wise policy; 1t certainly seems to meet
the views and needs of the people, those
who hold the bonds and who pay interest
on them. But the Briton has an idea that
on this side of the water such system of
funding public debts (outside that of the
general government) is simply out Of the
question; American securities, in his eye,
have many "Wild cat" features. It may
be imagined then how astonished
an English fnancier must have been few
weeks ago at bit of information he re
ceived from Mayor Hewitt of New York
The Englishman, it seems, saw what he
regarded as "spec" IN New York city
bonds, and so he wrote tc Mayor Hewitt
that in his opinion the city debt Of New
York could be readily refunded in Lon
don at 81 per cent. annual interest. The
following is an extract from the Mayors
reply:
lou will be surprised to learn that the bonds
of the city bearing per cent. are held here at
considerable premium, ana that any amount
of them bearing that rate of interest coald be
placed above par. l do not see, therefore, that
YOUR 81 question can be made of any practical
benefit to the city.
This shows how stable and desirable
are almost any class, but especially state
or municipal, securities of legitimate
nature in this country. 1t is evidence of
the confidence entertained by capital in
the permancy Of American institutions,
and ought to give every we'll balanced
American better opinion of his country.
The state of Texas, as all well informed
Texans know, can readily borrow all the
money it desires at per cent. per anumn,
and the time is rapidly approach
ing when any = growing, well gov
erned city in the country can
do likewise, for well governed commu-
nifty will not contract obligations beyond
its ability, and good faith, backed by
tsngible, solid resources, will always
command credit at favorable rates.

A life-like and powerful picture of the
romantic era in the history of Texas forty
years ago, this mastery story of love and
adventure deals with the Chivalrous side
of Indian life, the magnificent daring of
the famous Texan Rangers, the patri-
archal and hospitable manners of the race
of opuIent Southern planters, and con-
dition of affairs on the border which has
now become historical and which affords
magnificent scope to the pen of the novel
ist. From first to last the reader is
treated to a rapidly moving panorama Of
startling events and situations which
keep the mind intent and the interest un-
abated. The first chapters of this thrill
ing romance will appear in the Fort

AS THE approaches to libel in this coun-
try are SO easy it would be well for edi-
tors to supply themselves with safe
epithets to hurl at each other which will
not render them liable to the courts. A
Kansas editor has had recourse to "viru-
lent bourbon hebdominal" to express his
righteous scorn. A Scotch philosopher
once astonished fsh-wife out of her
billingsgate by hurting at her certain
mathematical terms, she being effectually
silenced by being termed 'logarithm."
This vas 2efore the days of the evolu-
tionists, and now there is such wealth
of hard names appended to such small
atoms there can be no lack of significant
epithets if the editor will only exercise
patience in the search.

THE Democracy owes Mr.. Randall
much and has paid him much. But the
Democracy owes the people much that is
not paid. And it cannot be assumed that
Mr.. Randall was less than patriot in his
noble fight against tyranny. To say now
that Democracy should bow to the Ran
nall tariff idea would be to divest the
party of all principle and to attribute to
Mr.. Randall unworthy motives in mis- last
services. The Democracy will march on /;
it is for Mr.. Randall to say whether he
will keep step with the party, or desert.

IN REPLY TO correspondent, THE GA
zETTE does certainly know that the first
regular session of the Legislature follow
ing next August will be held in January,
1889. But our correspondent takes no
account of the possibility of a special
session in 1888. The prohibition amend
ment provides that at the first session
after it's adoption legislative provision
shall be made-not at the first regular
session. Therefore, if the amendment is
carried, prohibition will go into effect
within one or two years, as we may or
may not have special session of the
Legislature.

THERE is renewed talk of the weaken
ing of Queen Victoria's intellect which
finds many believers among those who
have been cogniz2nt of some of her late
freaks. Poor Louis of Bavaria was ad-
judged insane because of what was
deemed his inordinate love of Wagner
music, and when England's queen finds
amusement in circus and theatricsls for
herself alone, there seems some ground
for suspicion OF mental disease. Added
to this, for whim of hers, the Life
Guards we're compelled TO sit in saddle
for hours without closks with the Their
mometer at 1S' above zero. If court of
inquiry was instituted these men would
prove swift witnesses against the sanity
of any woman who could be so exacting.

ANALLLANCE DEFENSIVE.

| In view of the number of libel suits brought
| by speculative characters against various
newspapers in the state and now pending In
the court., an in view further OF the neglect
| and TT fusal of the Legislature to so amend the
law as to remove from the press of the state
| the muzzle which impairs It's usefulness, 1t
would be well fer the papers of he state to
| form some sort of an alliance among them
! selves whereby all would make common cause
| of fgnting the enemies of each. The Register
would propose the 70 lewing plan as one likely
to be effective: 1t is not libel under the law to
print evidence given in q court Of record.
Now II the papers would agree when one of
them is sued to have the defendant gather
all the information in his power cor
corning plaintiff, and have 1t pu.
In evidence to show the real value of the char
acter of the party claiming damages, then when
this was produced In court, and became privi
legged matter, for every paper in the state to
publish 1t, this would hold up the injured saint
before the world in his true light, and about
one such publication would deter the rest of
the tWo-bit characters in Texas from seeking
to gain reputation and fortune from libel suits.
In other words, it would fulfill the scriptural
declaration: "WhOsO liveth by the libel law
shall perish by the libel law This plan would
work no injury to the innocent, for they have
nothing to fear from he closest scrutiny, but it
would be a holy terror to those individuals who
desire to hide their moth eat, q AID cOrroded
characters from the searching light of universal
nVestigatiOn.-IG Gainesville Register.
The practical operation of the Regis
ter's suggestion would, indeed, prove
heroic treatment. But Why not? 1t is
q fact susceptible OF demonstration
that newspapers in Texas have been sued
for thousands of dollars worth of char
acter where regulations were not worth
twenty-five cents. 1t has happened that
newspapers have simply misnamed the
offenses Of which men were guilty, and
therefor been sued for damages
to the characters (O of such men.
Were the newspapers, in defense, to
show up by evidence the true value OF
such regulations and the true character
of such men and then publish the court
records to the world, it would deter the
cheap Johns who seek chsract r and repu-
tation through libel suits. Why not adopt
the Registers suggestion? NoneWspaper
aspires to the reputation Of a libelods
sheet, which libel suits tend to give it,
and in self-justifcation to the public upon
which the newspaper depends, why not
show what the reputation of the plain
tiff really is and then publish it to the
world? Newspapers owe something to
their own regulations, and cannot afford
to be placed in the attitude of Iibeling
men of uuimpeachablec character and spot
less reputation. Why not act on the
Registers suggestion and publish to the
world just what the reputation and char
acter of the men are who claim them to
be worth thousands of dollars? THE GA
zETTE votes for the alliance defensive.

AUBREY, TEX, March p, 1851.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
1t IS very notable fact that THE GA
zETTE takes great delight in Boosting O.
the wonderful attainments of Fort Worth
and we'll it may for the Fort is certainly
the Little Giant of the West; and, by the
way, she is not very small giant either
for her years. Slice the recent calamity
that has befallen our little city, as pub.
lished in your paper few days ago, our
enterprising business men have set about
rebuilding with an energy that would do
credit to even Fort WOrthite. A new
town has been laid out on beautiful To-
cation just west of the railroad and q
number CT brick store houses will be
erected as fast as the material can be
purchased.
Quite a number of very desirable lots
have been laid eff in the new
town and they are being
rapidly taken up, not only by our business
men from the old town, but by strangers
who are coming IN and casting their lots
with US. In fact We are just at the be-
ginning of little boom, which in the
course of few months is sure to give US
quite little city. Now is the poor mans
chance to get nice little home cheap and
the rich mans opportunity to invest a
little money where it Will double and
thribble in very short time. IT'S also a
splendid opportunity for the man of bust
ness to get location where trade is sure
to be good. Surrounded as we are by an
immense body of rich lands in high state
of cultivation, with an inexhaustiule sup
ply of as good water as can be found in
the state, together with our splendid rail-
road facilities, we are sure TO have a town
OF no mean proportions in a very short
time. OBSERVER.
